How is pseudobulbar affect diagnosed?

ANSWER

Pseudobulbar affect is hard to diagnose because it mimics other problems like depression or other mood disorders. Tell the doctor about the symptoms, including when they occur and how long they last. It can help to keep a diary of your crying and laughing episodes.
